Its 4 am.   Got to get to other side of Atlanta by 6.  I think Greg is on his own this morning. I’m going back to sleep.

Well that didnt work out.   It is so hard for me to sleep with the truck going.   Every bump, pot hole and bridge just about throws you out.    We were both able to get back to sleep when we got there.   We arrived at 5:30 am and they said give us your number and we will call you when we are ready to unload you.  Call came at about 7:30 so we got a good nap. Then we sat for another 2 1/2 hours.

Afterwards we were able to go to walmart.  Time for med refills and groceries.  We get so tired of eating at rest stops but don’t usually have time to get somewhere for groceries or there is nothing close.   I got chicken breasts for some chicken burritos tonight, a small pork roast for BBQ sandwiches and a whole chicken I am going to cook with potatoes and carrots.   The chicken breasts have been in the crock pot with taco seasoning and sauce for about three hours and is killing us!

I have to tell you a funny on Greg.   When we went to Walmart we were looking for disposable gloves for me to cook the chicken tomorrow (no sink in the truck so have to compromise).  I went down one aisle and Greg had the buggy and went down another.   I found the gloves and he found me.   I went to put the gloves in the buggy and looked down at the buggy to a mess that wasn’t ours.   Apparently he had grabbed a buggy of stuff they were restocking the shelves with instead of ours when he was wandering around.    Needless to say, we had to backtrack and find our buggy.    Too funny not to pass on!

We went through Fort Payne, Alabama, home of the musical group Alabama.  They had a big bronze statue of the band but I was on the wrong side of the street to get it.  I told Greg to turn around and and go back but he said no.  Lol.  I didn’t really expect him to in this big thing.   Did get a picture of the fan club though.

Our pick up is in Scottsboro, Alabama. We are getting a load of carpet.   Sure hope we aren’t sitting here for hours.  Other trucks look like they have been here a while though.

They told us it would be at least two hours before they could get to us and then they have to load us.   Lovely!   There is a Walmart close so we unhooked the trailer and went to get stuff we forgot for the burritos like cheese and sour cream (😝) and came back to sit some more.

Gregory sent me a picture of two Olafs today.   Arent they adorable?   Carrot noses and all!  I miss my babies!

DG:  Sitting again.  I swear there’s a country song in all of this.  We are virtually living in a truck.  And having a blast.  We laugh all the time.  Even when things aren’t going our way and frustration fills the air, we find something to laugh about.  I love having my best friend with me in such close proximity, 24/7.  Just a few minutes ago she hooked up the TV to the HD antenna we bought a week or so ago so we could watch some local channels wherever we go and not finding anything I hear, “with the antenna?  Nothing?  Where are we?”  Logical question but funny the way she said it.  Apparently all that’s on in this part of the country is The Bachelor, yuk and local news.  I’ll take the news.

Short drives today.  Unloaded this morning and our next load was just a couple hours away but now we are told it will be two more hours before they can get to us.  They lock up at 11:00 and sometimes stay late to get everyone loaded, but I gathered from the way the guy talked it may not happen tonight so I asked him if they allowed overnight parking.  They do, so I said, “We’re good then.”  I’m out of time and already have a parking place so all we need is some sleep and we will be good to go in the morning.

Dinner was delicious.  Too much truck stop restaurant and fast food over the last month not to appreciate a “home” cooked meal.  Of course when you spend several hours smelling what’s cooking you are ready to eat when it is ready to be eaten.  I wonder if that was a chicken I delivered.  Probably not.  LOL.

Driving the country road was interesting.  Lots of interesting sights.  Not much traffic.  Nice.  Very pretty countryside.  I could live there.

About that cart in Wal-Mart, I don’t see the problem.  It had a lot of neat stuff in it.  No food, but stuff I’m sure we could have found some use for.  Anyway, I hope the person who left it where I found it was able to find it where I left it.

That C-130 below was much closer than it looks in the picture and he made a pretty sharp 90 degree turn to make his line up for landing.

Well, hope everyone is still enjoying our little blog.  I wish I had more to write.  I think of a lot of things while I’m driving but once we stop I go into rest mode and the brain slows down a bit.  (No comments from the peanut gallery.)

It’s raining, I have a full belly, and my eyelids are getting heavy.  Morning comes early, so I will say, good night, and God bless.

C130 landing at Atlanta airport.

We decided to go down a country road to Alabama instead of highway.

Alabama fan club.

Walmart cart.

Two Olafs. Arent they adorable.
